This is a club different from the VSU Football Varsity Team but we practice with them. No pressure. Just plain fun and a little competition. 

The VSU GIS Services is an institutional innovation created in early 1990's with funding coming from ViSCA-GTZ Ecology program and the IRRI-ADB Upland Rice Consortium program. In early 2000, realizing the potential of GIS applications in agricultural research and development program of VSU, the Office of the Director for Research and Development created a committee to pool together the existing facilities and equipment on GIS and recommend policies and courses of action to establish a working GIS laboratory. Thus, in December 2000 the VSU GIS laboratory was formally launched.

History

Before becoming an Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies on January 1, 2002, it was popularly known as the Center for Social Research in Small Farmer Development (CSR). CSR was established on September 5, 1981 by virtue of Board of Trustees Resolution No. 50.

The CSR grew out of the experiences of the Community Extension Service (CES) which started in 1975 as a Social Laboratory to carry out the extension activities and other community-based projects of the Visayas State College of Agriculture now Visayas State University. In 1980, the CES was renamed as Extension Research and Development Division or ERDD when the College extension program expanded. One year later, ERDD became the Center for Social Research in Small Farmer Development which is now named The Institute for Strategic Research and Development Studies.
